Obtaining an Assault Weapons permit.

[clrems77]

Does anyone here have one and if so, how difficult was it to get? I sell to many LE guys who have been asking about rifles I can only get with the permit.

Thanks

Get at least 3 letters very explicitly stating that the DEPARTMENT would like to purchase assault weapons (or whatever other weapons) from you. The letter must be written/signed and dated by the chief or sheriff.

It will take you about a year of waiting to get the permit

If you need assistance hire Jason Davis he is an expert at this and the only firearms attorney I would recommend

I realize that Cal-DOJ probably bristles at the sound of my name, but I'd be willing to write a letter for any legitimate dealer. The AW system is ridiculous, but we're stuck with it until such time it is thrown out.

Thank you everyone!

I had one for a few years but let it go in 2010. I am going to get it again but this time I have my 07 ffl.

Tried 3x, denied 3x. Already talked to Jason Davis about it, might work on it with him this year.

Why were you denied?

We never got denied but after nearly a year of waiting and not really having a strong market even with my LE affiliation, we bailed out. If we go brick and mortar it may be worth the hassle but only if we get all the permits,not just dwp.
